Ghost versions from 4.0.0 before 6.63.0 contain a content API vulnerability that allows unauthenticated visitors to access gated post content. Attackers can bypass content restrictions by directly querying the content API to retrieve restricted posts without authentication.
Articles & Coverage 1
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated visitors can pull the full body of gated, members-only and paid-tier posts from Ghost 4.0.0 through 6.62.x by querying the platform's Content API directly, bypassing the membership restrictions that are supposed to withhold that content. The flaw is an authorization-checking failure (CWE-863) in post visibility filtering, scored 8.7 under CVSS 4.0 and assessed as CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N - fully remote and unauthenticated, with high confidentiality impact and no integrity or availability effect. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitable only against Ghost instances (4.0.0 to before 6.63.0) that actually host gated/restricted post content - i.e., sites configured with members-only or paid-tier access controls; a site with no gated posts has nothing to disclose. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 base score of 8.7 (High) is driven by a fully remote, unauthenticated, low-complexity vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) with high confidentiality impact (VC:H) and no integrity or availability impact (VI:N/VA:N) - consistent with a read-only disclosure of gated content. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Upgrade Ghost to 6.63.0 or later, which is the first release outside the affected range and the version referenced by the vendor advisory GHSA-rcx7-6m7p-xw5c; patch availability is confirmed by the vendor, and the same two advisories (https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/security/advisories/GHSA-rcx7-6m7p-xw5c and https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/ghost-4.0.0-before-6.63.0-restricted-content-bypass) should be checked for any backport or exact hotfix build for the 4.x/5.x lines, since released patched versions for those branches were not independently confirmed from the supplied data. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory every Ghost instance in the estate and confirm which are running versions 4.0.0 through 6.62.x with any gated, members-only, or paid-tier content published; treat the premium content on those instances as potentially disclosed and notify content owners and legal/comms stakeholders if the material is contractually or competitively sensitive. …
